Bpectal Correspondence of ths Chicage Tribuna, Mrrwavkee, April 29.—The flarry oa 'Change Honday, resulting from the feilare of Schroeder & Lindblom, grain deslers and commission mer- shants, has ended, and the blow turns out to nave been less severe than wos snticipated- The failure involved a large number of smaller firms, who were put to temporary inconvenience, but managed to hold their heads above water, and will eventually come out all right. The call for margins, which gave a panicky tone to the ‘market for a short time, was in the majority of cases honored wathin forty-eight hours, and everything is proceeding smoothly once more. Tho event proves that it does not always pay even to run a wheat corner with trinmphant suc- cess. Wheat s going down, and, unless war breaks out in Europe, bottom prices must be reached in the course of the sommer. Itis un- pleasant to speculate on the benefits to bs deriv- ed from bloodshed and anarchy, but it cannot be denied that s rattling good campaign in Eastern Earope would provs grstefal to the fselings of wmany in the Western States.

A bill was protested at the bank. A castomer failod to come to time. His wife wants a :fimng boanet. His son and heir pas the measles. His hens lay no eggs. His birds refuse tosing.

I have received personal assurances of thie from several prominent citizens. DEATH OF KOBSUTH'S PRIVATE SECRETARY. ‘When Eossuth landed in this country, there came with him a mild, studious, broad-gauge man 88 povate secretary. sud to be of noble parentage, named Wiliam Waigli. After Kos- suth’s disappearance from tho horizon as a star of brillinncy, Waigli came West, looking for reat and wealth, finding neither. Ultimately bo sotdled 1n Milwsukes, and here was born to him in poverty and gloom a large family of children. Waigli-supported himseif aad those dependent on lum with the precarions earniogs of a teacher of drawing and painter of window-shades. His life was ono of degrading poverty and toil. Ope of his soDs is atility boy in_the Senti- nel composing-room. Waigli died Wednesdsy, leaving his family totally unprovided for. De- ceased was a man of unprovident habits, without the power of appreciating the value of time and money. His life was embittered by great re- verses, and his recollections of the past, con- trastad with the les of the present, doubt~ less hastened the end, rendering him incapable of cheerfully boeariog the burdens placed upon him. He was an acoomplished linguist, and ca- pable of shimng in society snited to his birth. SILVER. Silver coin has begun to circulata.

DEMOCRATIC. 5 The Chairman of the General City Democratio Committee has sddressed 8 most extraordinary letter to the Mayor and all officers of the City Government elected by the peopls, who are supposed to belong to that party, recalling to their minds that allogiance to the party is re- quired at their hands, and laying down the prin- ciple as one to be dej from at she peril of the offender that all offices are to be distributed among Democrata alone, The tone of the entire document is that of a victorions General enter- ing a captured city and_dictating to his officers the conditions on which they ars to sack and pillage the ighabitants, 2nd on which the nhab- 1tants are to be suffered to live. It is on insuf- ferabls, outrageons, indecent public declaration of the principles so long secretly governing the Democratic psrty in the State of Wiscopsin. TRADE WITH THE EAST. For the first time, freight from the East comes throngh with reasonable epeed. Five days is the rale now from New York, Brooklyn, Boston, aod Philadelphia to Milwaukes for fast freight, whereas it has always heretofore been the ex- ception, seven days being the average, with ten and twelve days for ordinary trains. Freight seems to come through also 1n better snape ; fower breakages and losses, and so forth. Com- petition is truly tho soul of business.

TFinally it was proposed to stand or fall on $2.50 per diem, but an amendment subsequently carried fixing the amount at $2 per day. This moderation war induced by the fear that Chicago sailors would accept $2 per day. It was thought best to aocept the inevitable firet than last. ' CONVENTION.

Racrse, Wis., April 28.—The evenings shorten perceptibly, and the summery odor of Wwarmer days comes stealing gradually over us; yet the flowers sleep lazily under the grass, fearing the blight of the frosty winds that come and go be- times. The weather along the lake seems en- tifely dependent on the gales that have been blowing almost constantly during the past week. Zephyrs from the south are laden with heat and dust, and the blizzardy winds from the north make our natives shiver with cold. On the morning after a southern breeze, boot-jacks are corded up in the yards, and the gaunt dis- gusted *‘Thomas™ has a careworn look. On such evenings as those allnded to, the monoto- nous song of the merry frog mingles with the groans and wails that emenate from the Orphaus club-room from the hour of gathering dark- ness until ‘‘the witching time of night.” There algo is heard the melancholy how! of the sentimental idiot giving expression to his gush- ing heart under the chamber window of his Dul- cites. The days of tepid zephyrs and sunny skies are vexed with the ceaseless grind of the infernal hand-organ and the festive caper of the impecunious monkey. But when the cold blasts from the icy North come scurrying over the de- voted burg, the “Thomas™ seeks his lair; Romeo goes to bed like a Christian thas ophem- eral puddle-fiend, the operatic frog, lides ite diminished head, and only the irrepressible +Orphans " shriek out their sgony. Kven tho sad-eyed Italian tenderly gathers his monkey to +his bosom, and hies him to & summer clime. Wo Iive in hopes of nodding flowers and shady trees, however, and, though yet faraway, our appreciation will be the greater when roalized. BOCIAL. The effort fo revive the hilarity of the days preceding Lent did not awaken the enthusiasm that was anticipated, and the last *‘O. B. J." party was but the ghost of former ones. Yet there was a subdued and pleasing satisfaction in sttending the very last of the sesson, which none who participated wonld forget. The music was 38 bewitching a8 of yors, and the ladies, thongh few, made amends, 8o far as beaunty and refinement could, for the lack of numbers. Among those in aitendance were Miss Laura ‘Wild of Washington, D. C., Mies Edith Hugun- in of Chicago, Miss Minnie Slauson, Miss Kittie Dunscombe, Miss Ids Buil, Mies Ella Foster, iss Flora Knapp, Miss Emma Lovell, Miss Sallio Wild, the Exmee Pratt, Mrs. George Beemer, Mrs, F. M. Enapp, Mrs. Fred Wild, Mrs. J. B. Siauson, Mrs. Jewell, Mrs. Dyer, and Mrs.Weeks. A YRACAS. The war has been carried into Africa, and with a vengeance. Two swarthy voters from the sunny elopes of Timbuctoo hoisted the biack flag last week, and declared “ war fo the ax.” The ropresentatives of Senegambian chivalry expactorated on their copper-colored palms, and ealled into each other's corporosity with a vim that would have done credit to a e or Allen. 1t seems tnat the aggressor,—a rather trouble- some fellow named Coleman,—had refased to ‘‘do” some work that the other, who was his foreman, had ordered him to perform, but in: stead had given vent to some very abasive lan- age, returned in kind by the other, until the iscussion ended in 2 genuins ** rongh and tum- ble.” Then followed the most ternific * Ki-yi- ing" imaginable, relieved at intervals by the dull thad of two wooly heads coming in contact a8 if their owners were trying to * talescope” each other, but their upper siories only ra- ‘bounded like a counle of rubber oar springs. After a fearful oolligion, Coleman regained his feet, and shouted his war song— Oh! I'se s Methodist bred and barm, A Mothodist will X dfe.

The Women’s Contennial Art Easel Association of Wisconsin have arrived at the acme of their glory and are happy. The result of a long win- ter's begging campaign; of restless doys and sleepless nights ; of wanderings in the highways wnd byways; of festivals, aud fairs, ana weary labors, has been attaied at last. Tho Art Easel stands complete—s monument of what Wiscon- sin women can do—in 8 foolishcause. Inman empty store on Main street is all that is left of $500 carrency of the realm, and $5,000 worth of misguided enargy. A 8500 easel for the display of 25 worth of cheap paintings seems absurd, but itis & sad roality, and though there is many an ompty stomsch, many a sick and_ragged child, or wretched mother, in our city, 83l write, should we not be happy in the possession of our «Easel"? Asa sample of Racine cabimet-ware, the rack may be creditable enough, yet people wonder how it was possible to got so much money into such a piece of mechanism. So far 86 the paintings are concorned, it may be justly suspected that the real object has been to ex- hibit tho very indifferent * daubs™ of a few third-class smnateur ariists, A sorry showing they mill mske in the world's art gallery surely. Iu the epirit of kindoess and Christian charity, it may bo_ suggested that 1f tho money squandered in such a senseless toy had beon used to decorate our city, or to erect a fonatain, 8o much needed, in the market square whore thirsty pilgrims could drink, or had been applied in the better furnishing of a resding- room for our homelegs street Arabs, how much more creditable would it have boen.

The church itself 'was handsomely decorated for the occasion, and special services were held morning and evenin, in honor of the day.

Elsewhere in this letter tho writer has hoo- estly spoken the convictions of the majority of our patriotic_citizens regarding the farce called the ¢ Art Eesel.” As no injustice is in- tended to any oune, a hurried review of the paintings, aside from all other considerations, may not be amiss, the more so as all the sketches on exhibition are not uniformly bad, { criticised solely as works of art intended for ihe decoration of unpretentious parlors. With the qualification, however, that 1t is absurd to taend any of them to the art gallery at Phila- delphin as representative of Wisconsin genius, your correspondent will hurriealy reviow the most pretentious of the lot. ‘The sketch of a portion of Lake Winnebago, from the brush of Waldo, is probably the most creditable.

WEHAT THE BOABD WILL Déy Thers s mueh curiosity to know the probablo action of the new Board of Trustees relative to the salarted officials of the village. A com- mittee was appointed last Tuesday to investi- gate the whole guestion of work, salaries, etc., and it is probable that they will ranarg their conclusions at the meeting next Tuesday. The abolition of the office of Attorney may be some- what inconvenient temporarily, in view of the fact that there are a number of suits pending against the village which will require con- gidersble attention. Friday a summons was gerved on the Clerk in the suit of John A, Dix va. The Village of Hyde Park and others to Toreclose & mortgage on the property partly occupled by the Hyde Park S¥ater-Works, An answer must be ed to-morrow, aud President Bensley will be obliged to retain & special counsel for the Village, Unless thers be an appotntment made soon of & Village Attor- ney, it will be found that tho practico of pny::g' spe- clal retainers will be rather expensive, Inds itis not improbable that of the four offices abolished at tho Inst meeting, one, the Attorneyship, will bo revived a5 it wos; two, the offices of Engineer and Superin- tendent of Public Works, will ba consotidated; and ihe fourth, the Captaincy of Police, will be allowed to rest in the grave where it has already been Iaid. - It need hardly be added that the salaries of nearly all oflicials wiil be materfally reduced. veddinge sid 10 bo hing, Thore are three weddings approaching,— one in Kenwood, and two in Hyde Park,—of which two will probably take place during May, ~Hyde Park has not had @ really interesting wedding for a long time, but these three will undoubtedly make amends. It is not understood as yet what days have been fixed upon for the happy events, but socloty will have 8 grand treat when they occur. Tho Board of Education of the First District held a regular meeting lst Friday evening, at which the new President, H. N. Hibbard, appointad the Committees Tor the ensuing year; following arc the names of the Chairmen: Buildings and Grounds, J. B, Oalhoun; Text-Books and Course of Instruction, J. L Bennett; Rules and Regulations, J. R. Flood; Janitors and Sup- plics, P. Cndmore; Furniture and_Apparatus, M. J. Russell; Examination of Teachers, J. B. Fiood; High Sehool, J. 1. Benuett. ‘A resolution was adopted to the effect that when any teacher is sick, the substitute who takes her work shill Le paid one-half the salary, and the teacher shall receive the otner balf. 'A resolution was also adopted for the removal of thie grammar-school from the old seminary building, which has been renovated and repaired for permanent occupsncy as a chool building under a two years” less, The work of ramoval took place yesterday, and school will open in the new location to-morrow. "Alecturo on crayon-sketening and caricaturing in imitstion of Regamey was given yestarday even- ing in the parlors of Norman O, Perking by W. AL R, French, a landscape architect of considerablo repusa- tion in Chicago as lightning sketcher. The lecturs ‘was attended by many of the personal friends of Mr. and Mrs. Perkins, and the evening was « very enjoya- ble one to those present. The rapid completion of the new wing and other im- provements to the hotal will be looka1 forward to with great pleasure by those who remember the delightful hops and concerts thers during previous summers. ‘Not only are the buildings to be largely improved, but nombers of new trees Lave boen set out in the park, ‘making the grounds moro attractive than ever, From tho cupola in the centrs of the main building there is uvfi of the finest views to be found anywhere sround Chicago. There have been a large number of new dwellings put upin the village within a radiua of three or four blocks from tho station, and these are being taken so r\:;ji&ily os to show an unusual demand for suburban residences. . ‘The improvements in the lower South Parkhave boen progressing rapldly also, and the entrance will be quite imposing. 1t has been proposed to run a low stono coping for about 200 feet on each side of the ‘main entrance, which will be 100 foct wide. The view of the fine bridge between the Twin Lakes will not then be cut off, aa wounld be the case if tho feuco wero ocontinued up to the entrance. It has also been Buggested by one of the Park Com- ‘missioners that a massive lion on each #ide of the en- trance would give a much better appearance than any form of gate-post that could be sdopted. The same gentleman, with an eye to artistic and picturesque effoct, proposes placing one or two life-aize statucs of deer in the foreground shrubbery, soas {0 give an air of life to the park when viewed from the in passing. It is probable that this park will be even ‘moro popular this year than the morthern portion at j-tirst street. ———— DESPLAINES. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The burning of Mr.J. C. Coon’s flax mill, and five large stacks of flax, last Baturday, which was telegraphed to Tme TRIBUNE, was one of the most extensiveconflagrations which have ever occurred in this part of the country. The mill was ruoniog at the time, and such was the in- flammable character of the materisl, and so sodden was the ‘ignition, that the workmen barely escaped ucharmed from the burning building. The wind was blowing hard from the northwest at the time, and carried the burning flax and shingles over the dwelling-house and ‘barns, and it was only by the greatest struggle of the neighbors, who had hastily gathered, that thoy were saved. The bravery of Mr. Emit Peot deserves special mention. The barn was between the burning mill and the residence, and, having caught fire, Mr. Peet, at the risk of his life, monnted the roof, and alone battled man- fully with the kindling flames, and succeeded in extinguishing them, thus being instramental in saving much valuable property. Mr. Coon’s loss 18 over $5,000. He had no insurance. Two pleasant (garties were arranged for Tues- dfiecvening. ne was to be a Leap-Year sur- prise party, the young friends of Aliss Georgia Wicker nhaving prepared to visit her that evening in » body at the residenceof Mra, Rsnd, The other waa s **social party,” Mrs, Thomas having invited a select few of the young people the same evening, As the soqual proved, the two interfered with the other sadly, the eault 'being that meither came off exactly as an- nounced. Mrs, Thomss, hearing of the surprise, con- siderately postponed ber social party. Thoss intent on surprising Afiss Georgis, found, on arrival at her residence, that sho had left for the “social ™ at Mrs. Thomas'. The young folks, not to be deprived of an ovening'’s enterfainment, finally joined their forces, adjourned to tho hall, and in the pleasures of the dance, passed soveral delightful houra, * Georgs' farnished the masic, and seemed inspired for the oo~ casion. The refreshments prepared for the were served at 11 o'clock, and the company separated ‘with the consciousnesa that the party had been none the less enjoyable that it had been impromptu. Two temperance lectures were delivered, the one ‘Wedvesday and the other Friday evening, by Alr. Ac- Conwell. “The former was dehvered in the Congrega- tional Church to a small ince. At the close of the lecture, which was an earnest and able effort in the cause, an effort was mado to organize a Good ‘Templars’ Lodge, which met with no success. The Iatter wos delivered in the M. E, Church to a fall house._ The Desplaines Band was in_attendance, and favorod the sudience during the evening with some fine music. AIr, R. W.

B, B. er. Susan B, Anthony lectured at the Baptist Church 1ast ovening, on * What Woman Wants Is Bread, not tho Ballok.” The public is still in suspense aa to the result of the tedious Hurd-Brown church trial. The Committoe declines to divulge the nature of its decizion, which will not be mado public until the return of Dr. Wentworth from ore. At that time, he will probably call a general meeting’ of the Church, to which the verdict will bo submitted, and before which the case will coms for disposal, if, a8 1a expected, the accused is found guilty. The semi-annual election of officers of the' Eclectio Society will take place at the residence of Mr. B, 8. King w-morrow evening.

The hotel has & landlord at last—Mr. Lock- wood, formerly of this place, but of Iate years residing 10,Chicago. This will be welcome nows— not only to the citizens, but also to strangers, who would gladly sojonrn temporarily if a stop- gieng-pllce ‘were provided. The building is now ing renovated and furnished, and will soon be ready for boardors. The increase in the circulation of the Sundsy %npers during the past year ia worthy of notice, n the line of this road between the city limts and Desplaines, the circalation of e TRIBUNE has increased over 40 per cent, as stated by the carrier, and the number of that paper distributed is far in excess of that of any other paper.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune PARK RIDGE, April 20.—An article appeared in Tax TRIBUNE of last Sunday, over the signutures of the . Board of Directors of the Pack Ridge School, in which it was tated that Thad made application to the Board for the situation of Principal for the lf:clng term, As. e that statement is false, snd a8 it has placed me in an unfavorabla and erroncous light befors certain parties to whom I had already eaid I made no application, T ask of you the privilego to insert in THE TRIBUNE my denial Of the statement. Enowing that this matter poescases no general intorcst to the resders of THE Tauxe, I content mysalf_with a aimple denial, de- siring: it fo be understood at the simo time fhat I am willing ond able to air and_explain certain move- ‘ments of the Board which would pirtislly at least ac- count for their card of last Sunday and the extraordi- nary statements therein.
